"Just because an idea is true doesn’t mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn’t mean it’s true. When the experiments are done, we still have to choose what to believe."

That sounds like the sort of oxymoron creationists say who have no intention of examining the facts.
Imagine you are on a jury and the lawyer for the prosecution presents objective evidence day after day. He has DNA evidence, fibers, fingerprints, footprints, eye witnesses, CCTV, phone records, financial records, texts, emails etc etc. All of it points compellingly to the accused.
On the final day of the trial the defense lawyer gets up and says, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury I have absolutely no evidence at all to offer you on behalf of the defendant. But just because an idea is true doesn’t mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn’t mean it’s true."
Would you be impressed?
Evolution is not a matter of opinion. It's not a case of weighing up the evidence on both sides and making a judgement. There is NO evidence for creationism. It is entirely religious superstition. The evidence for evolution makes it as certain as the fact that the earth is not flat.
Only those who avoid the task of examining the evidence can maintain the charade that it is even open to reasonable doubt.
OK, then...I mean't what wrote. It's not up to me to judge.
Happy posting.

Sorry I don't understand?
What did you mean and what can't you judge?
Did you have a look at the ten questions for JWs/creationists?
Oh...I typed my response too fast. Sorry. In other words, it's not up to me to judge the topics that posters wish to post. But, I will add that I do have the freedom to choose which ones to read.

So you joined a conversation just for the purpose of saying you weren't interested in it.
You are interested in creationism, you said so earlier. You're just not interested in the inconvenient facts that show it didn't happen.

And while you wallow in your self induced ignorance the world moves on without you. Perhaps that is a good thing if you are not willing to learn about something before dismissing it.
And yes, discussions of this topic are certainly valid on this site because of what the JWs have wrote about it. Were it not for their lies (yes they are lies...) these topics would not be necessary...
No I joined a conversation and commented on how this topic seemed to be a popular subject with you. It was just an observation that I made. Don't you like posting about Evolution? You stated that you are up to fact # 34.
I'm not interested in it myself. I remembered you saying that you were a witness in the past. When someone closed the door on you then, what did you do? Didn't you just go on.
Well sometimes JW's mentally close the door on individuals that they may not enjoy talking to.
